A Fall Picture.

The pumpkin pie is yellow,
The buckwheat cake is brown,
The farmers gray neck whlskers
Are full of thistle down.
The leaves are crisp and russell,
The sumac's blazing red,
The butternut descending
Is cracked upon your head.
The rabbit is cavortlng
Along the gloomy slope,
The shotgun Of the sportsman
Eliminates his lope.
The butterfy's departed,
Likewise the belted bee,
The small boy In the orchard,
is up the apple tree.
The county fair is blooming
The circus is no more,
And on the polished brass dogs
We make the hickory roar.
The trees wear lovely colors
In beautiful excess;
All nature seems to rustic {
Just like a new silk dress.
The sausage soon will rlpen,
The popcorn soon will pop,
And Christmas things enllven
The window Of the shop.

feet in keeping the bowels open, loos-

healthful circulation of the blood. A
stalled horse kept on dry feed through
the Winter becomes bilious, just rs hui
man beings do who lead sedentary
lives. We have not got into the habit
of dosing horses for billousness, nor
need we. A mess of carrots daily, with
half the usual amount of grain, will
keep horse in better working order
than oats without the roots. In most
places carrots can be bought by the
quantity at about half the price of oats,
and pay the grower well at that.
EXAMPLE FOR FARMERS BOYS.
The Lyons On. W Republican tells
Il very interesting story of how n boy in
Phelps, n. Y. successfully managed a
large farm. Two years ago he was
left by the death of his father with Il
farm of ninety acres, burdcned by n
mortgage of $500, and n widowed
mother TO support He was then
fifteen years old. Taking the advice OF
neighbor, the mother allowed the boy
to run things in his own way. He has
developed natural genius for success

of course, some pretty hard work. lie
has plowed, cultivated and harvested
good crops, has run small milk dairy,
has repainted the house and paid of
the entire amount of the debt. Last
Winter he taught school, and thus
earned some extra money. IN his
spare time he writes interestingly for
local papers. and is keeping up Il sys-
tenn of Chautauqua readings. This
young man will be heard from here
after. We would gladly give his name,
but the Lyons paper does not furnish
it. The only caution needed by this
model young farmer is, not to oyertaX
himself, and thus destroy what prom
ises now to be life of great useful-

SQUARE DIVIDED BY LINES.

Much amusement may be gained
by asking a number of persons to
mark on a wall, measuring from the
floor up, the height of an ordinary
block silk hat, and then placing the
hat on the floor and observing the
wide diversity of opinions in the mat
ter, as shown by tine marks. 1t is
safe to affirm that not one of q party
of twelve who has never experiment
ed in the matter will designate on
the wall the true height of the hat.

THE CITIZEN.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Measuring by the Eye.

There is a wonderful difference in
the power which different persons
possess of estimating sizes and dis
tsnces by the eye alone. The facul-
ty of estimating sizes and distances
by the eye is susceptible of wonder
ful cultivation. 1t is very valuable
when one wants to pick out quickly
an article of proper size.
There are, however, certain inhu-
eEces which, unless guarded against,
will often lead one astray as to the
real size of an object. The presencJ
of series of lines upon an object ha 8
a great influence upon the appearance
as regards size. To illustrate this
fact is given the cut, showing square
space, divided horizontally by q
seris of lines. The height and
width of this space are exactly equal,
as may be proven by measurement
but to the eye they appear very un-
equal.

associated from the first with a genuine
English theory. Opposed to the in
dependence of Ireland and the en-
croachments of the Scots, he now bv
force of arms won place for their re
personalities in the English Parlia-
ment, he succeeded in ruling the Brit,
ish Kingdom on uniform principle
and united their efforts To accomplish
this it was absolutely necessary that
the main outlines should be shaped by
the authority of single will in order
that i'll future, freedom might be de
veloped within their borders.
Judging from the facts history has
left us it must have seemed a thing
almost impossible to have brought
these three countries into harmony,
but our hero never tlinched in his wo k +,
he put his hand to the pillow and never
turned back, and We find him at the
age Of sixty worn out with bodily care
but his intellect az bright as ever.
His home and foreigr policy was
brilliant, even his enemies were com
PEELED to admire him, but his plan was
almost in advance of the age, and he
was often obliged to resort to force
when he would have ruled constitu-
tionally.
His plans seem to have died with
him. His son Richard did take up
the o.lice and for few months tried
to hold the authority but it was i'm
possible, neither his House of Lords
nor his Commons was destined to last.
Times even swept away his vast army
but he exercised an influence rich in
important results for it was only by
means OF Cromwell's victories that it
became possible for these three coun-
tries 20 be governed as one
Soon after Cromwell's death the
people, ever clamorous for Il change
insisted on having the Stewarts recall
ed and the very army that had Danish
ed them assisted in the jubilee when
Chales II appeared.

Closing The Year.

The grandest social event ofthe sea-

the G. l.. 5. c., in the elegant parlors
of the Coburn mansion on Third street,
on Tuesday evening, the occasion be-
ing the last meeting for the years
study of 1SS6-'S7. The circle now
numbers about thirty members and by
their diligent efforts have made rapid
advance during the past year. Last
week the circle decided upon having
a prescribed program and to invite
their friends to a social entertainment,
and in response to the invitation about
seventy guests, the elite of the city,
assembled at the pleasant home of the
Misses Coburn, members Of the circle,
and spent pleasant and profitable
evening. The program of the even
ing was as follows, in which each actor
seemed to excel the one gone before:
Music-NIiss May Maxim.
Reading-NIiss Matte Bradshaw.
Essay-Miss May Coburn.

Solo-Mr p. H. Perkins. (Encored)
At the close Of the program refresh
ments, elegant in construction and
bountiful, were serycd and an hour or
SO spent in social conversation. After
supper The members of the circle pre-
scented their leader, Rev. F. II.
Wright, with late edition of Web
sters Unabridged dictionary, which
seemed to he one of the most happy
events of the evening.
